The Hague, The Netherlands - 21st September 2008

By: Charda

Last Friday a new tv arrived, called Beatritsche!

Today we accompanied our host to her work. She wasn't able to take any pictures there, so we just sat inside her bag and listened to the security people who were guarding the bag while our host was working. After just a few hours our host came back, fetched the bag from the security people and went outside. She then took us for a small walk through The Hague. Here I am in front of the Buitenhof. This is where the government convenes and where they take all the big decisions.

Here I am in front of a statue of Johan van Oldenbarnevelt. He was a Dutch stateman in the 16th century.

This sofa was made of mosaic tiles for an art project in the city. It wasn't really comfortable, but it was pretty.

This is the other side of the Buitenhof. The little tower in the middle of the picture is where the prime minister resides.

Here's another Dutch statue called 'Kleine Jantje'.

This is the skyline of The Hague. The building on the left is the railway station, the central station of The Hague.

And to top it off: here's me with a Dutch lamppost.
